This time of year I will leave mine out for 3 or 4 weeks also, but during the summer I'll pull mine every week and check them.

I like to leave my cameras up for at least two week, sometimes it hard not to go check them sooner.

Usually I leave mine out for two weeks or more but there are times I get impatient and check them sooner  :chuckle: . I do my best not to leave my sent in the area anymore though, the cougar I killed last year walked right up to my trail camera and smelled it, then put its nose to the ground and started following my trail right toward my blind  :yike: . Glad I was awake to see her coming  :IBCOOL:

I like to leave mine out 2-4 weeks at a minimum. But most of the time, they're a long ways from home, and then a several mile hike. If I find a spot close to a road and I don't know if anyone else frequents the area, then I'll try to check it weekly for a while until I know if it's safe or not.
